G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Program Overview & Criteria
Under the G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Program guidelines, your financial need will initially be covered by federal and state financial aid such as the Pell Grant or HOPE scholarship. If these options do not cover all unmet direct costs—such as full-time resident tuition, mandatory fees, an allowance for books, and expenses related to on-campus housing and the meal plan—Georgia Tech will provide funding for up to eight full-time semesters.
